The local authority has begun installing Solar PV arrays on Crawley Homes properties.

The scheme was set to last for the next four weeks at least and hoped to save tenants up to £100 per year on fuel bills.

The council is working with companies, Prolectric and HBS, on the project, which was being delivered through its membership of Your Energy Sussex, a partnership of Sussex councils with Carillion Energy.

A council spokesman said: “Tenants whose homes the council and its subcontractors would like to explore further will always be contacted by the council via letter before any survey appointment is made.

“If you hear or see anything suspcisious, please call us on 01293 438000.”
